What I would do if I could redo this photo?

From looking at the critiques that people wrote about my photo and what I observed after, I liked how my photo turned out and I would not change much. The HDR style isn't what I would normally chose to photograph, but through this assignment it helped me gain an appreciation for this type of art. I personally like photos to look more lifelike and HDR's are supposed to look highly contrasted and detailed, so I liked how I took my version of that. I liked how the lighting was natural and in good daylight and that the photo was taken literally during real life. The only thing in post I would change would be cropping.
